Nedra Matteucci Galleries

Purchasing and selling important American art for over 35 years

Founded in 1972, Nedra Matteucci Galleries is recognized around the world for its collection of historic and contemporary art. The gallery specializes in 19th and 20th century American art, including the Taos Society of Artists, artists of the American West, and masters of American Impressionism and Modernism. Also featured is a selection of Russian Realist paintings. Included in the collection are works by important contemporary painters and monumental sculpture by artists of international recognition.

Representing the Taos Society of Artists are the works of Joseph Henry Sharp, Ernest Blumenschein, Victor Higgins, O.E. Berninghaus, E.I. Couse, and E. Martin Hennings. This distinguished group of artists, preceded by Charles Russell and Frederic Remington, changed the way America sees its Western heritage by applying European painting techniques to uniquely American subject matter. The 1920's saw the influence of two exceptional painters of Russian descent, Nicolai Fechin and Leon Gaspard, who were then followed by the modernist movement as Taos and Santa Fe became the cultural center of the West. Works from this school include Raymond Jonson, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Josef Bakos.

In addition to the vast collection of historic paintings inside the gallery's warm adobe walls is an exciting array of paintings presented by an outstanding group of contemporary artists from the Southwest and beyond.

The gallery itself is a spacious adobe highlighted by a beautiful one-acre sculpture garden, open in every season. Visitors should not miss the large collections of Native American pottery and artifacts, and fine jewelry from around the world on their way to view the unique grounds. Once outside, visitors will find extraordinary works in both stone and bronze that create a small New Mexican paradise within the adobe walled enclosure.
